Re: Stumped on Communication Issues - We think it is/was our radio. Details are insid

If knocking the radio makes you lose the connection, your problem is with your radio. You might might other problems as well, but you still have a problem with the radio.

The two things that come to mind it power & physical such as a cracked board or bad solder joint. Make sure you power connector is tight and the wires have adequate strain relief. Tape or hot glue can be used to keep the connection tight. The radio is meant to be attached to a relatively stable building not a robot. Rigidly attaching it to the robot transmits a lot of shock load.
